Well, Mike, you must excuse bad every thing. I had to work this letter in a hurry to go on review. Mike, you must give my love to all the Girls an tell them I am fat an sassy. Mike, you must write as soon as you get this an tell me all the news. I will be glad to hear from you at any time. Your letters will be received with pleasure. So I must close. Give my love to the Family an receive the same for your self. I remain as ever your Friend until Death.
